It's really handy for debugging and proving out small snippets of code. It's also handy for sharing and demonstrating code to others. > > **Cons**: It has some limitations, anything large scale it isn't exactly suited for, you can't run stuff in it like a full staging environment but it does support mid sized projects. It also doesn't support running php script. > > Overall it's a great little tool that I've used over the years to test and build basic html/js/css code, I have found it easy to share with others and allows you to teach and demonstrate code in real time. It's also saved me a lot of time to just test small code snippets quickly to see if it's something viable to use. ----- ### "Easy and FREE\!" — 5.0/5 > **Aakash** | *August 24, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It always works well and allows me to quickly test small pieces of code on multiple devices. The free features are really useful > > **Cons**: I wish you would be able to pause the auto-running/updating functionality whilst writing code in a CodePen. It can be quite annoying and disruptive sometimes ----- ### "Best light-weight code editor for anyone who likes to code." — 4.0/5 > **Abrar** | *July 22, 2021* | Market Research Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is very good and the application is fast. There are many features to help in coding and many programming languages to choose. We can display our code snippets in the form of pens and make it available for everyone to view it. It is the best platform to showcase one's skills. We can even checkout other user's pens or snippets and can fork it for ourselves. > > **Cons**: Although this application have lots of features but it lacks many which other competitors have. The auto-code completion is poor as the code library is not vast. It is only useful for small one page projects and can not handle very large projects. > > I have been using this tool to showcase my skills and try out small codes. The animations and other designing features are great in this application. It is online and everything is stored on cloud, making it easier to access from any device all around the world. ----- ### "the best ally to get started in coding" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *February 8, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: it is definitely its graphical interface, how intuitive it is, you like to use it. For students who are just starting out, the use of a tool like Code Pen is great. > > **Cons**: I use it as a user and in free versions, because in my opinion its scalability for projects due to the limited one is with the languages ​​is decisive according to the type of project. Ideal for web development use, not so for other tools > > Code Pen was an extraordinary tool, I would say almost fundamental during my learning process as a developer, it seems to me that it is the best product for someone who is just starting out, or at least for me it was. ----- ### "For showcasing your small snippets it is good. More like a social ground for developers to showcase" — 3.0/5 > **Khan Nida Khanum** | *July 16, 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good for showcasing small code snippets as the community for codepen is very large compared to other tools like codesandbox. Minimal configuration to start with. > > **Cons**: Very limited feature for codepen projects. More features are available in paid version. Also, intellisense is not great in codepen. Other tools like codesanbox provides better features and intellisense for larger projects. > > Overall , sine the community for codepen is huge. It is a great social platform tool to showcase your code like amazing animations. Most users share and showcase their animation snippet through codepen. For larger projects other tools like codesanbox can be used. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1012479/codepen?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1012479/codepen) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
